Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Trigger#

New Row Added (Instant) on Google Sheets

Description:Emit new event each time a row or rows are added to the bottom of a spreadsheet.

Version:0.2.2

Key:google_sheets-new-row-added

Google Sheets Overview#

The Google Sheets API allows for the creation, reading, updating, and deletion of data within Google Sheets, enabling a robust platform for spreadsheet management and data manipulation. Through Pipedream, you can craft serverless workflows that respond to various triggers, such as webhook events, emails, or scheduled times, to interact with Google Sheets. This synergy can automate reporting, synchronize data across applications, manage inventory, track leads in a CRM, or even conduct survey analysis by updating and retrieving sheet data on the fly.

Trigger Code#

import httpBase from "../common/http-based/sheet.mjs";
import newRowAdded from "../common/new-row-added.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...httpBase,
  ...newRowAdded,
  key: "google_sheets-new-row-added",
  name: "New Row Added (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event each time a row or rows are added to the bottom of a spreadsheet.",
  version: "0.2.2",
  dedupe: "unique",
  type: "source",
  props: {
    ...httpBase.props,
    ...newRowAdded.props,
  },
  methods: {
    ...httpBase.methods,
    ...newRowAdded.methods,
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Google Sheets	`googleSheets`	`app`	This component uses the Google Sheets app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Push notification renewal schedule	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	The Google Drive API requires occasionally renewal of push notification subscriptions. This runs in the background, so you should not need to modify this schedule.
Drive	`watchedDrive`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Spreadsheet ID	`sheetID`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Watch Drive	`watchDrive`	`boolean`	Set to `true` to watch the drive for changes. May reduce rate limiting.
Worksheet ID(s)	`worksheetIDs`	`integer[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Has Headers	`hasHeaders`	`boolean`	Set to `true` if your spreadsheet contains column headers. When enabled, an additional `rowAsObject` field will be included in webhook responses with column headers as keys. The original `newRow` array format is always preserved for backward compatibility.
Header Row Number	`headerRow`	`integer`	The row number containing the column headers (e.g., `1` for the first row). Only used when Has Headers is enabled.

Trigger Authentication#

Google Sheets uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Google Sheets account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Google Sheets and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Google Sheets API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

Grist Overview#

Grist API on Pipedream enables you to automate data management tasks in your Grist documents. This might mean syncing data across different platforms, triggering notifications based on data changes, or processing data through custom logic. With Pipedream, you can use the Grist API to build workflows that react to events in real-time, connect to hundreds of other services, manipulate data in sophisticated ways, and create custom endpoints to integrate with your Grist data.

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Grist	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Grist app.
Document ID	`docId`	`string`	The ID of the Grist document to operate on. You can find this in the Settings menu of the document.
Table ID	`tableId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Filter	`filter`	`string`	This is a JSON object mapping column names to arrays of allowed values. For example, to filter column pet for values cat and dog, the filter would be `{"pet": ["cat", "dog"]}`. Multiple columns can be filtered. For example the filter for pet being either `cat` or `dog`, AND `size` being either `tiny` or `outrageously small`, would be `{"pet": ["cat", "dog"], "size": ["tiny", "outrageously small"]}`
Limit	`limit`	`integer`	Return at most this number of rows. A value of 0 is equivalent to having no limit.

Action Authentication#

Grist uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Grist account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Grist APIs in both code and no-code steps.

To retrieve your API key,

Navigate to your Girst account and sign in
Go to “Profile Settings” > “API”
